BCCI and HR

There are vacancies for HR heads in one of the largest organisations in the country. And even though the need for pros to step into these positions was felt acutely over the past couple of months, these one job openings went unadvertised.We basically need someone who can make an impact on the way HR works because no one believed we need an HR in this organization.The first organisation that could clearly do with a professional HR head is the BCCI.

The prolonged comedy of errors that was played out in front of the nation clearly demonstrated that BCCI needed two professionals desperately — instead of politicians, it needed a HR and a qualified spin doctor. The last category has many aspiring naturals already playing the game. But it’s difficult for everybody to fancy themselves in the role of a professional HR.

So, why does BCCI need an HR head? For one, because it is constantly recruiting — whether it’s coaches or consultants or players. Secondly, there seems to be some confusion within the board about the job profile — no one seems to be sure whether it needs a coach or a manager.

Look at the chain of events leading up to the selection of Ravi Shashtri as the new Team Director. They first had Duncan Fletcher, who had a public fall-out with the board. Then started the hunt for the immediate task at hand — the Bangladesh tour. After searching high and low, the board stumbled on to a talent residing in its backyard: Ravi Shastri.

So what we basically require out here is that BCCI works in tandem an HR manager. Because HR is one guy which basically needed both for the N srinivasan case handling and also for MS Dhoni. We need to find out the solution to this case as fast as possible else the PR fall will turn from bad to worse day by day for BCCI.
